短期暴飲暴食壞處多 保持身材更難
最新研究發現，短時間的過度食用垃圾食品會對身材以及人體儲存脂肪的方式造成永久影響……
A short period of gorging on junk food has a more permanent effects on body size and the way it stores fat – even after the initial weight is lost, the study found. The gluttony changes fat mass – the percentage of fat in the body – for more than two years making it harder to keep weight off.
最新研究發現，短時間的過度食用垃圾食品會對身材以及人體儲存脂肪的方式造成永久影響——即使最終減掉了因貪吃而增加的重量，結果還是如此。暴飲暴食會改變脂肪量——身體所含脂肪的百分比——兩年有餘脂肪量都無法回到正常水平。
A team of researchers from Linkping University, Sweden, asked 18 individuals to stop exercising and eat excessively for four weeks – increasing their energy intake by an average of 70 percent. A separate control group ate and exercised as normal.
來自瑞典林雪平大學的研究人員讓18個受試者停止鍛鍊，連續四周過量飲食——這樣他們的能量攝入平均增加了70%。另一個小組的飲食和鍛鍊則保持正常。
The binge eating group gained an average of one stone in body weight, which was mostly lost six months later.
結果發現，暴飲暴食小組成員平均增重約6千克，直到6個月後受試者才恢復到以往體重。
However, one year on this group showed an increased fat mass compared to those who ate and exercised normally, the differences were even greater after two and a half years.
但是，一年之後暴飲暴食小組成員的脂肪量要比正常飲食小組的脂肪量高，兩年半後這種差別變得更大。
The study, published in Nutrition and Metabolism, concluded that it provides evidence that even a short period of excessive eating and a lack of exercise can potentially change an individual's physiology, causing it to be harder to lose and keep off weight.
該研究發表於《營養與新陳代謝》期刊，得出的結論是短期內的過度飲食和缺乏鍛鍊可潛在地改變一個人的生理機能，從而使得保持身材更難。
